what are the 5 lobes of the cerebrum
frontal
parietal
temporal
occipital
insula
the white matter in the cerebrum is made of (a) of fibers:
(b) fibers that (b)
(c) fibers that (c)
(d) fibers that (d)
a. 3
b. commissure, connect the right and left hemispheres
c. projection, connect the cerebral cortex to the brainstem
d. association, within things within each hemisphere
what are basal nuclei
masses of grey matter buried within each hemisphere
basal nuclei have 3 functions:
a)
b)
c)
a) help unconscious control of voluntary movements
b) regulate movements, (stop, start and intensity)
c) contribute to procedural (unconscious and long term) learning for cerebral cortex
basal nuclei is connected to a), b), and c)
a) cortex motor areas
b) thalamus
c) midbrain
the cerebral cortex exhibits 3 abilities:
a)
b)
c)
name their functions
a) topographic mapping: the body’s surface and features of the world are mapped out by the brain
b) plasticity: the ability to reorganize it’s structure, function and connections in response to stimuli
b) lateralization: the left and right part of the brain process info in diff ways and control different patterns of behaviour
describe the brodmann’s area
a system to divide the cerebral cortex into regions according to functional organization
how do somatopy and cerebral cortex relate
somatopy is how specific functions are localized in different areas in the cerebral cortex
what are the rules of somatopy
- each hemisphere is organized w functions of the opposite side of the body
- the 2 hemisphere’s arent equal in function
- no area functions on its own
what is the difference between the cerebrum and cerebral cortex
the cerebral cortex lies on the outer layer of the cerebrum. the cerebrum divides the brain into 2 hemispheres
the frontal lobe is responsible for a) such as b) and c)
a) voluntary motor
b) thinking (executive functions)
c) personality (emotions and behaviour control)
the parietal lobe is responsible for a) such as b) and c)
a) somatosensory
b) touch pressure temp
c) perception and making sense of the world
the occipital lobe is responsible for a)
a) vision
the temporal lobe is responsible for a) and b)
a) hearing
b) understanding language
the motor cortex is responsible for a) and the sensory cortex is responsible for b)
a) movement
b) sensations
primary somatosensory is located in a) and receives info about b) from c) and about d) from e).
it’s ability to determine f) is due to g)
a) post central gyrus in parietal lobe
b) touch pressure temp
c) skin receptors
d) joint and muscle position
e) muscles joints and tendons
f) the area of stimulus
g) stimulating the specific neuron path going to specific areas
primary visual is located in a) and receives b) from c)
a) occipital lobe
b) visual info
c) eyes
primary gustatory is located in the a) and receives b)
a) insula and frontla lobe
b) impulses for taste
primary olfactory is located in the a) and receives b)
a) temporal lobe
b) impulses for smell
primary motor area is located in a) and it controls b).
electrical signal stimulation causes c) of any motor area
different muscles are represented d)
a) precentral gyrus and frontal lobe
b) voluntary contractions of specific muscle or groups of muscles
c) contraction
d) unequally
brocas speech is located in the a) and it controls b).
impulses from the broca’s area to the c) control d)
a) frontal lobe
b) the larynx, pharynx and mouth
c) primary motor area
d) the breathing muscles to regulate air flow
frontal eye field is located in the a) and it controls b). more specifically it controls c)
a) frontal lobe
b) eye movement
c) voluntary scanning movement of eyes
association areas interpret a). it’s found in b) and are all connected by c).
a) using memory
b) all regions of the brain
c) association tracts
somatosensory association receives input from a). it allows you to b) and it’s able to c).
a) from the primary somatosensory area and thalamus
b) determine the exact shape/texture/orientation/relation to others of an object
c) store memories of past somatosensory experiences
